I ended up flipping through the Sumikko gurashi notepad, a mostinteresting thing I could find in my bag. O my, these San-X characters are simply too lovable. I'll make Zassou the weed part of art-in-Yang's-yoghurt tonight.

"Surprise!" From the corner of my eye, Leibniz crunchy wholemeal biscuits gave me a "baby wave!" as I walked down along the shelves of biscuits in the NTUC hypermart. From now, I didn't need to wait till weekends to restock it from a Cold Storage somewhere else! (＾ｰ^)ノ Thanks for showing up when Moshi Mushroom's gone into hibernation.

Leibniz crunchy wholemeal biscuits makes its debut in NTUC hypermart

Hugged a 5kg rice sack home, like the way I would carry 小雨. The difference was 小雨 would cling to me, the rice sack wouldn't. It just felt heavier.

Read about epi-LASIK, a surface-based procedure which doesn't cut a cornea flap. It's suitable for patients with thin cornea, dry eyes and high myopia. There's a video illustrating the procedure. I wonder if it would be effective for one with high astigmatism too, like Yang.

Yea if you had noticed, Yang's been mixing her recipes all around. Tonight, I added minced pork with the marinade from minced pork & tofu to scrambled eggs with spinach & shiitake mushroom (which gave another "rojak" dish). Lemon-parmesan-crust was tested on kanimi sticks before I laid it on a salmon fillet today. The 25 mins' of baking at 120 degrees yielded luscious and creamy salmon, just like my very first herb-crusted one.

And I'm satisfied with both dishes tonight! Here's sharing the recipes:

1. Season the eggs with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture well. 2. Heat canola oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. 3. Add the garlic with salt and stir-fry for 30secs to a min. 4. Add the shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for another min. 5. Add the marinated minced pork and stir-fry until no longer pink, breaking the meat up to smaller bits using the spatula. 6. Add the blanched spinach and stir-fry until wilted, about 1 min. 7. Whisk in the eggs, cook, stirring occasionally, until just set, about 1 min. 8. Pour in the broth mixture and stir around to mix well. (Scrape up the browned bits or "fond", if any, on the bottom of pan.) 9. Sprinkle in grated parmesan and stir around. 10. Dish up and serve!

Notes: i. Rinse and boil the baby spinach in salted boiling water for 30 secs to a min. "Shock" in ice-water bath for about 2 mins, then remove and drain dry. ***********************************************************************************************************

Notes: i. Brush the salmon with 1/2 tsp of unsalted butter, then stir in the remaining 1 tsp into the mixture of biscuit crumbs, cheese, spring onions and lemon zest. ii. I placed a 8" round pan half-filled with water on a drip pan below the baking rack. iii. I rested a lightly-oiled circular rack over a square bake pan, then laid the salmon fillet on top. iv. I baked it at 120 degree celcius for 25 mins (checked for doneness after 20 mins and returned it to the oven for another 5 mins, as instructed by the recipe).v. Remove the pan of water once baking is done and wipe clean the insides of your oven after it has cooled down (there would be some condensation of water inside the oven).﻿**********************************************************************************************************

By the way, my other pair of big-framed spectacles with thick lenses didn't shield off the chemical compounds emitted from slicing spring onions for the crust. The lachrymal glands in my eyes got stimulated again. (;_;)

小雨 was having Monday blues and just wanted to hold mama's hand through dinner time. So her right palm rested on my left. Which meant holding her spoon with her left hand, and holding mine with my right.

While it didn't seem too tedious for her, I struggled with my right hand through dinner. After all, I had been a lefty for close to 30 years.

And Kirin passed his CFA! Hurray! He had already dumped his books anyway, the day after the exams. Lol.

The nocturnal man went out again. For some alone celebration I guess. And he came back with diapers, laundry wash, cup noodles, some snacks and surprisingly a packet of soya milk. A drink that he had never fancied, as with green beans, red kidney beans, yellow beans. A drink which I used to get every other day as a university student, but rarely drinks it now.

Learnt that Robin Williams left yesterday. Cause of death was asphyxia from hanging, according to preliminary autopsy results.

當葉子隨著風離開了樹 變成花的禮物 那只是你啟程了旅途 不是結束

時光比預料中來得殘酷 愛得愈深愈匆促 教人不得不學會祝福 你先走的 那一步

Hmm 我們都別哭 傷心會浪費你的 呵護 愛 微笑著回顧 有你那段路 短暫卻幸福
